Michael Phelps' Live Reaction To Team USA Gold Medal Finish Says It All

Michael Phelps's absence from the Team USA contingent at the Paris Olympics means that he will support the national swimming teams from the sidelines.

This was the case in the wee hours of Sunday morning as Phelps watched Caleb Dressel and the rest of the squad bag a gold medal in the men's 4x100 freestyle relay. Dressel, who now has eight Olympic gold medals to his name, took it home for the Americans as he capped off an incredible run for the men's team.

To say that Phelps liked what he saw would be an understatement.

You can see how hyped Phelps was as he watched Dressel separate himself from the pack. The former Olympic champion had to leave his seat to celebrate that epic win.

Phelps and the rest of the nation will hope that there's more where that came from as Dressel and Co. compete for gold medals in their upcoming events.
